After today's LRC meeting in Frankfort, both Jody Richards and David Williams said they had not heard anything from Governor Fletcher about when a special session might be called to repair some nastiness that has hurt small businesses.
Observers were left to speculate there may not be a special session.
But the Herald Leader's Jack Brammer was on the case. He called the Governor's office and got the scoop.
It seems the Governor's office is working with legislators other than the top two in leadership:
Cave said the administration has talked to certain members of the legislature who are working with "a constituent group" on formulating a tax plan. He declined to name them, saying they have come to him in confidence and include senators and representatives. Cave also said legislative leaders will play a role in a tax plan, but they have not yet been contacted out of respect for their time.
Ooooohhhh.... A power play. I like it!
